Dr. Kalam said “Once in a crowd of around 10,000 students when I asked how many of them wished to join Engineering or Medical many hands were raised in response. Even when I asked how many of them wished to go the Mars, many of them raised their hands. But when I asked how many of them wished to join politics, none hand raised.”

Kalam said there should be ‘development parties’ instead of political parties. He said that to achieve vision 2020 of developed India, country needs 10% steady growth rate after two years from now for continuously 10 years.
